[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1653035, member: 459333"] I think you may mean me :) Just to be clear, my thinking was that in the same way that just one cigarette *could*, if you are extremely unlucky, be the one that sets off a serious lung condition, I think it's feasible that for a diabetic, just one day of big spikes *could*, if you are extremely unlucky, be the one that stiffens an already stiff artery (for example) beyond a critical point. It's worst-case thinking, and I did say you'd have to be *extremely* unlucky, and I reckoned it was less dangerous than driving a car, my point being everybody does that, in spite of the risks, so why worry too much? So I think I'm possibly far more in line with your thinking than you realise. For me the *only* concern I'd personally have is my past history: I get addicted quickly. You clearly are very different and I admire your self control! I can relate to that totally. I could almost have written that myself. Exactly what me and my sister have been saying to each other recently about our own mum. Not at all. Asking for opinions is certain to get some responses you don't agree with, but you've been very straightforward in dealing with them. [/QUOTE]
